Good logline and potentially a satisfying story. But it can be improved.

First off: cut the second sentence. Unnecessary.

Next, what I would love to understand is: why? What is at stake for our hero? What does he get out of it and/or what does he have to lose?

How is this movie going to be different from, say, the first half of FULL METAL JACKET?

Finally: is there a Shadow character or villain we can visualise?
